Multiple bioabsorbable corticosteroid‐eluting stent placement with associated skull base injury

Abstract: Bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting sinus stents (BCES) are used to optimize healing after sinus surgery. We report a patient with BCES placed through a dural defect. A 70 year old underwent sinus surgery. Postoperatively, the patient developed mental status changes. The patient was taken to the operating room and eight BCES were identified, with one extending through the skull base. The stents were extracted and the defect was repaired. The patient recovered well. This is the first significant complication a… Show more

“…15 Additionally, there has been 1 reported case of skull base injury after deployment of multiple BCES. 16 In light of sparse reporting of complications, our study highlights potential complications of which physicians should be aware when treating patients with PROPEL BCES and suggests future considerations for evaluating risk factors for complications following placement of drug-eluting stents in sinus surgery.…”

“…Conversely, a smaller single institution randomized controlled trial compared SES to Merocel and found no long-term statistical difference in MT lateralization, LKES, or Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) score [35]. Although judicious use of SES has been shown to be safe and effective, there is a report of skull base injury in the setting of improper placement of a SES [36], emphasizing that these new technologies are not a substitute for comprehensive understanding of surgical anatomy and meticulous operative technique.…”

“…This inflammatory response can lead to clinical adverse events including crusting, granulation, and scarring [9] as well as nasal and ocular irritation [10]. In one severe case, a stent was found to be extending through the skull base into the brain with significant cognitive consequences [11]. In this instance, the patient had undergone extensive surgery and 8 stents were placed throughout the sinus cavities [11].…”

“…In one severe case, a stent was found to be extending through the skull base into the brain with significant cognitive consequences [11]. In this instance, the patient had undergone extensive surgery and 8 stents were placed throughout the sinus cavities [11]. The varying anatomy of the four sinuses (ethmoid, maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid) necessitates individual stents for each cavity and incorrect placement can lead to complications.…”
